God has given every mother and father a little mission field right in the home with their own children. No influence upon their hearts and lives will ever be greater. God help parents to be true to this responsibility!
the child will not die. Parents should also ponder carefully Proverbs 19:18; 22:6, 15. What a different America we would have were every home to be governed by the principles of the Book of Proverbs!
[ Continued from Page 125] Easter Blessings
It may be surprising to some to realize that the widespread observ ance of Easter as a day is not sug gested anywhere in the Bible. There are several reasons why this yearly celebration should be carefully c o n sidered. If we look at it from the pastor’s standpoint, we realize that due to the universal emphasis on the day, there is upon him a compulsion to preach one very special resurrec tion sermon on the day when the church is sure to be filled to over flowing. For the choir leader there is pressure to employ the hymns and anthems in our song books labelled, “for Easter use only.” Consequently, the rest of the year the thrilling mes sage of the risen Christ and of the empty tomb is neglected, and those triumphant resurrection hymns lie un used. We ofttimes wonder if the ob servance of Easter as a holiday has not caused the church of Christ at large to lose the joy that He meant should be ours every Lord’s Day. Is is not true that from apostolic times we have observed the first day of the week in glad recognition of the fact that it was then that our Lord rose triumphant over sin, death, and the grave? This is something to which God’s children should give their at tention. ★ ★ Biblical Child Psychology Someone has suggested that the greatest book in the world on Child Psychology is the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. Surely one of the vital questions that is agitating our land today is what to do about juvenile delinquency. Has It ever occurred to you that God, who causes each baby to make his appearance in the world, surely ought to know something about how to bring up that child as an obedient son or daughter, and as a good citizen? Among other subjects treated in, the Book of Proverbs is this important matter regarding dis ciplinary measures for children. It would be a good thing for the parents of America to read this Book in family worship at least once a year, allowing the passages which deal with the dis ciplining of children to be absorbed dy the entire family circle. We can not fail to observe that evidently God believes, not in the new-fangled meth ods of persuasion, but in old-fashioned methods which have to do with the rod and the woodshed. Unconscious humor is suggested in Proverbs 23:13, 14, where the parent is exhorted not to withhold the rod. He is assured that in spite of the loud bellowings,
